I don't know either, Jan! :|

I mean, I know there are plenty of species in Spain, many of them are not in the keys of Van Veen, and I don't have idea if there are others here close to Paragus quadrifasciatus. Worst of all, I have no access to that kind of information, so I feel lost!

But at least potentialy it may be Paragus quadrifasciatus, which is not bad for a Paragus. ;)

I've seen and photographed several Paragus in my area, but never even bothered to try to ID them, as I was told they are impossible. But this was bigger, and the features much more distinctive (never before saw one with stripes of hairs in the eyes!) so decided to have a try with it. ;)

Thanks a pile for the help, much appreciated!
